If you don't believe in landlines and you do believe in sensible shoes, stop reading now.

Gadget4all.com is selling a phone designed to look like a pink high-heeled shoe. Fortunately, it doesn't double as a real shoe, as the slant on this thing could lead to some serious back issues.

This isn't any sort of fancy phone--just your basic $22 number that plugs into the wall and would look cute with a sundress. We could kinda see this product in, say, a teenage girl's room, but we're really hoping Apple isn't getting any ideas here for its next iPhone.

What's the big deal? I bought one of these 20 years ago as a gift for my (then) teenage girlfriend (though it was red, not pink - is that what's so cool about it?).
